Violence Against Women
Gender violence is a broad term that refers to any act of violence by men against women that results, or may result, in physical, sexual, psychological or economic harm to the victim.
This type of violence specifically targets women because of their gender and is often deeply rooted in power inequalities between genders and discriminatory social norms.
We are here to listen, support and fight for your rights. You are not alone.

Violence may be either physical (injuries) or psychological (insults, threats, etc.).
It may also be reported by witnesses, including law enforcement officers or medical professionals attending the victim, who may submit the medical report directly to the court.
It is essential. Do not allow yourself to be pressured by the police or Civil Guard into accepting a court-appointed lawyer.
The law allows you to appoint a private specialist lawyer who may appear up to eight hours after the detention.
You have the right to remain silent and not plead guilty. Anything you say may be used against you.
However, the alleged victim may choose not to testify against their partner, provided they withdraw as a private prosecutor.
Article 468 of the Spanish Criminal Code states:
“Those who violate a sentence, security measure, prison order, precautionary measure, driving prohibition, or custody order shall be punished with imprisonment from six months to one year.”
